Stuckey provides access to some surprisingly good flounder fishing within a short drive to the coast. The maze of tidal creeks and flats near the coast offer ideal ambush points for these flatfish. Fall is prime time, as flounder migrate out of the creeks and into the larger bays before heading offshore. Focus your efforts on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near structure like docks, pilings, or grass edges. A local's secret is to drift live mud minnows or mullet along the bottom on a Carolina rig. Pay close attention to the tide – flounder often feed most actively during the hour before and after high or low tide. Public boat ramps along the Black River provide access to the coastal waterways. The flounder in this area can range in size, but patient anglers are often rewarded with some tasty fillets. Be sure to shuffle your feet when wading to avoid stepping on a flounder.
